Report Of the Board Of Managers OF the
National Home for Disabled Volunteer


Report Of the Board Of Managers Of the
National Home for Disabled volunteers.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 2a-The
report of the board of managers of the Ma
tional home for disabled volunteer soldiers,
which was laid before the house 20 day,
states that tho inmates of the home have
been we'll and comfortably fed, clothed and
housed, and that there have been no colc-
plants on these subjects from the in
m ates- The board says there should be
more accommodations furnished, but are
not prepared to recommend the en- srge-
ment of any of the existing branches, unie IS
1t be the western one, which was built with
view Of very large expansion. The aver
age number of INN ates during the fiscal
year was 1916, against $3.50 for the
preceding year, an increase of I1.13 per
cent. This rate of increase is said to be
likely to continue for q decade to come.
The survivors of the war are glowing old,
their disa Utilities are severer and the num-
Der who are unable to support themselves is
rapidly increasing. Notwithstanding the
completion of the house at Leavenworth,
Kansas, there are yet many disabled and
destitute soldiers cared for in aims houses.
If congress should provide for assisting in
maintaining the soldiers in state homes by
authorizing the payment of one-half of the
cost of their support the necessity for build
ing additional homes might be avoided, ex-
cept in the case Of that recommended for
the Pacific slope. The report says the home
is gradually becoming great hospital, and
the necessity for additional hospital accom-
modations is more urgent every year. The
expenditure during the year was 81, 6O9, 79O,
and the estimates for the next year are
81, 599, 54.

will mourn.
WARRINGTON, D. c., December 27.-One
who saw the remains of General Logan this
morning, the embaimers having completed
their work and the body being ready for the
casket, describes its appearance as life like
and but little wasted, Mrs. Logan's condi-
ton is gradually mending, some portions
of last light having been passed
in deep sleep, the first which
The members of the II inois delegation in
congress who are now in Washington, held q
meeting in the Logan mansion this after
noon. in compliance with the suggestion of
Mrs. Logan, for consultation. Mrs. Lo-
gan's wishes in regard to the funeral ar
engagements were made known by Represen-
tative Henderson, with whom she had been
comforting. Her inclinations favored a
funeral in the senate chamber after the ress-
sembling of congress and an interment in
the congressional cemetery here. The
matter was dis cussed, but no conclusion as
to the nature of the counsel to be rendered
was reached, the subject being postpoDe ed
until tomorrow. Since that time further
conferences have informally taken place
and the members of the delegation are
now of the opinion that the funeral
ceremonies will take place next Friday in
the senate chamber, and that the remains
will be conveyed to Chicago.
General Beal this afternoon received dis
patch from Mr.. Walker Blaine, dated at Chi
cago. announcing the receipt by him of q
telegram from his father in Augusta, express
ng tie wish that he (the SOM should repre-
sent the father at the funeral. The dispatch
also conveys the writer's personal condo
lence. It is supposed that Mr.. Blaine made
the request on the assumption that the re-
mains would be conveyed to Chicago at once
and that the obsequies would take place
there.
General Albert Ordway, head of the Wash
inRton commandery of the Loyal Legion,
represent the commandery at the funeral:
General Logan; Commander kellogg of the
Pratt, q member of Logan's staff. and Cap
tain George E. Lemon.
A number of places are contendipg for the
honor of furnishing the burial place, among
them Springfield, Chicago, ard number of
places in southern Illinois. 1t is thought
probable that if Chicago offers a suitable
spot that the general will be buried there.
The Logan mansion was this afternoon
connected with the Western Union Tele-
graph company and large number of dis
patches of coincidence from prominent men,
and clubs and societies are being received.
General Logan is said TO have left nothing
for the support of his widow except his Chi
cagO home, his Washington home, which is
mortgaged, and the prospective profit on
his book. A liberal pension for her is already
proposed.
